Hi everyone! Thank you so much for watching. I have gotten complaints about the music being too loud in comparison to me speaking, if this is the case for you there are captions on this video so you can turn the volume down if needed! I hope that helps! I cannot change the volume of the music now. Thank you again for watching! Make sure to check out my kitchen makeover video after you’re done with this kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6jScqqdedh2gdk

[@kristinatidwell6563]

So, from your comments that tells me that I need to get my ac vents cleaned out before I resurface the counter tops. It was built in 1995 with the house I'm looking at to purchase. I've seen coupons for $150 or so from companies who do that sent out thru the mail from Valu Time coupons. Maybe watch for it in the coupons of your newspaper too. Thanks for posting this video. I am in Temple, TX and if I get the house I will relocate to small town Texas about 90 minutes north of here and cuts commute time to my parents if they choose to come live there with me. (*Its got a pool so it's a steal deal for the price!) My apt has some sort of kit but the caulk at the wall above the back splash looks totally awful! I want to try to fix it here before I move over to the house. WWYD? The ceiling collapsed in the kitchen before I moved in, so all of the cabinets have water damage and I asked if it's ok to paint with sealer and paint the cabinets white to seal in whatever mold maybe there? But I don't have answer to that yet. In some apts I've seen that they've used gray latex paint on the caninets that's peeling horribly. But mine specifically haven't been painted at all. They're putting black appliances into these apts. I thought maybe white "marble" counters would go well with that paint color. I think white subway tiles are nice for the upper splash guard too, say like behind the stove or sink areas to protect against getting MORE water damages. I can get those as peel and stick items too, but that's yet another project in the updating process.

[@ellyraisi96]

Hi thank you for your video :)...I was just wondering if the product you used didn't need a heat gun or torch to remove the air bubbles? Was there no bubbles forming after you poured the epoxy? Thank you in advance!

@@BrontesLife does it really save your a lot more money than buying new counter tops ?

[@BrontesLife]

@@jenniferescobedo3655 it depends what you want. Maybe not if you want laminate countertops, but if you want quartz or granite then yes. Depends on size of your kitchen. Price it all out! Calculate square footage then find whatever countertops you want. We couldn’t afford the quartz we wanted, so for us it was the affordable option to get the look we wanted.

I watched a lot of epoxy videos before I gave up on doing it 😂. I honestly think yours was the most thorough while still explaining very well. Most videos were not enough info or overwhelming. I may revisit the idea now 😂

Thank you!!!!!! Omg I agree completely. Every video I’ve seen I’m always like wait how did you get this to do this or how did we just go from nothing to the counters being done lol.

It was honestly SOOOOOO much easier than I anticipated!!!! 🙌🏻😍 try it!

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

If you haven’t used epoxy. I suggest doing a smaller project. Like a side table. It helps. You could also do your kitchen in pieces instead of the entire thing. Bc that can be overwhelming

[@karenshelton4103]

How do you clean and maintain the counter tops? Do they stain easily?

[@BrontesLife]

I use windex or a multi surface cleaner. No bleach, it can stain it. So far I only have one spot that is stained, but have no clue what it is from!!

[@cgcavin6080]

How well have they held up over the years?

[@ritzierginger]

Can this be done on Granite? Would I need to sand it first before applying?

[@BrontesLife]

Yes and yes :)

[@devincooper171]

How many days did the full process take before you could place sink back in place?

[@BrontesLife]

I honestly can’t remember. I think we waited 3-4 days for it to set up and be hard. The whole process of actually doing it took a day and a half because of the curing times

[@sylviarojas2123]

I’m confused! Which kit did you use? The other kits are pretty pricy 🥴 did you do the $175 one then buy the pray paint? Plz help! I loved this idea!!!

[@BrontesLife]

I used the Legari kit. I think it's around $400-500 but that includes all of the epoxy, primer, and the highlight color (what I used the spray paint for instead of the actual highlight color they have). Hope that helps!💕

[@BrontesLife]

Hi! It’s holding up well! I will have a video updating coming this week :) I’ve been trying to wait til as close to a year as possible for a 1 year update

[@BrontesLife]

Only very minor yellowing in some areas and 1 are chipped because I dropped something from the upper cabinets 😂

[@raymondrhodes1691]

Gosh, I am confused about what you folks did in the very beginning of the job. Was their was formica laminate on the counters that was that was first removed? What type of prep work took place after that? I have some counters with old formica laminate, if I remove the material will that leave me with a surface like you started your video with?

[@BrontesLife]

There’s a whole prep your counter video linked in the description box 🤗 just gotta look for it

[@raymondrhodes1691]

Thank you so much for the info on the 'Prep' video, as well as the applying the epoxy video! 😃 The backsplashes on my kitchen & bathroom counters are uniquely different. They are actually notched into the counter tops an inch below the surface (which is very obvious on the sides) & are on 90 degree angles (not with rounded corner joints or tops). I wonder if I should remove them, fill in the inch recess with wood & bondo filler, epoxy them separately & reattach them later with caulk in the corner joints (like how granite is done)? Also my counter fronts, sides & backsplashes are all 90 degree angles. Is it not possible to work with epoxy on 90 degree corners? All corners must be rounded? I wonder, if I were to epoxy my backsplashes while not attached to the wall, if I could position them in a way so the fronts & tops could be done separately without fighting gravity. Also, if I were to apply epoxy to counter tops, fronts & sides at separate times, if that could remove the necessity of rounding corners? Probably not because of gravity, right

[@BrontesLife]

I don’t know, I’ve only ever done my countertops. Sorry!

Could you do an update video, how have the countertops stood up to heat, stains, kids banging on them, and ect.?

[@BrontesLife]

Yes. They’ve held up well, there have been a couple of spots that have kind of yellowed and then a couple of spots that have stained, not sure what stained them though! No issues with the kids or being rough with them! I slide stuff around on them all the time. Very minor scratches that you can only see in certain lighting. I don’t really put heat on them other than a plate of hot food or a cup of coffee, but I have had no issues doing so.

7:51 if wanna “save the material” getting “every last bit out” than here’s what ya do. Go buy a 5 pack of flexible “bench scrapers”. The stuff bakers use to get batters, mixes, etc out of mixing bowls, pans, etc…. They come in 2 main “flavors”: silicone and plastic. My preference is buy BOTH, b/c sometimes the plastic works well and sometimes the silicone is best. Just depends on material using AND, a 2-5 pack of plastic cost $2-$6 at dollar store (or Amazon) and a 1-2 pack of silicone cost around $8-$15 depending on brand, size, & durability etc…(and can find on Amazon, Walmart, Target, but usually won’t find at a dollar store). They work well getting paint, and other materials out of buckets, bowls, containers…..and if want to clean them up well, can use for baking (bumptious personally I wouldn’t do that, as why risk it 😉). Great vid and beautiful countertops…..looks nice

From my understanding the rubbing alcohol will give it some sort of effect for aesthetic purposes when you’re doing the highlight color (veining) and not necessarily get rid of bubbles. I could totally be wrong though. I think different products require different things. Some people recommend using a heat gun or blow dryer for bubbles. We only had two spots that bubbles and they popped on their own while setting. I don’t know if that answer was helpful or not 😂 I’m so sorry if it wasn’t

Great job. I’m trying to listen to every word you’re saying and then the loud music comes on.

[@robinh6623]

Great job! How are the fumes on these products?

[@BrontesLife]

Thank you!! Honestly they’re not bad at all. The spray paint on the other hand... I would definitely be doing that in a well ventilated area we ended up having to open up the doors. The epoxy kit itself is not bad at all, very low fumes.

I hope you get this comment and it helps. I watched your year update as I was researching epoxy countertops. I just watched another video and she used a product called tanwise tan remover to get stains out of her epoxy countertops. She listed Sally’s carries it also Amazon. I don’t know if you still have that stain but this may help. If you try and it works please let me know lol. Your projects look great.

A lil too long winded n repetitive but it came out absolutely gorgeous. Trying this weekend 🤗

[@BrontesLife]

Sorry! Lol I like stuff explained and repeated so I don’t have to go back and rewatch stuff 😂 thank you so much!

[@tw9664]

There's a big difference between long winded and thorough! She was giving instructions not telling a story. Repetitiveness is the best way absorb something! She did a great job!

Nice epoxy work on the counters! Question...do you know if the epoxy coating resist heat (hot pan) & stain (e.g. pomegranate juice) once it's completely cured. We have a dark granite counter we like to brighten up (similar in color to your white marble countertop color) but can't see spending around $5K. Just subscribed. Thank you!

[@christopherarnold6686]

Wow the primer was the bomb! Looks good guys!

[@BrontesLife]

Thank you so much!!!

What made you go with leggari, compared to other companies like stone coat? Great video.

[@BrontesLife]

What I liked about leggari is that their kits came with the primer and highlight colors (even though I opted not to use them). Also, they don't require applying any heat to the countertops. That intimidated me with other brands, not gonna lie. I'm sure stonecoat is great though! Those were just my main two reasons for choosing leggari. They have great customer service too :)

This was fabulous! I am doing my kitchen now...not going to do the counter top but i have a ledge that I can make my very first project! You made me a believer! Thanks,...

Thank you so much!!!!! That is so exciting and so fun! I looove doing home projects! 😍😍 good luck! And enjoy!! I hope it turns out AMAZING

[@nickiequinn2135]

I just went to the site and the kit is $530.... that is pricey, unless there was a different kit they picked up

[@nickiequinn2135]

$530 for 50 sq ft

[@BrontesLife]

Yes, it is pricey. It was more cost effective for us than actual granite or quartz though :)

[@nickiequinn2135]

@@BrontesLife I am renovating my home via DIY methods and I manage 5 other apartments that will need rental renovations which includes attention to the kitchens. I will probably invest in this kit for my home, but probably find an alternative for the rentals. I used DAICH SpreadStone in Volcanic Black for one of the countertops in a rental. It is only $125 for 50 sq ft and it look so realistic because there are real minerals in it. Check it out to see if you have any use for it as a small project; maybe a new diy tutorial for KZbin? The countertop turned out great in the rental, but I'd probably invest in a standard clear epoxy or top coat to add extra durability to the surface since durability is my biggest concern. Let me know what you think.

[@deerogatory]

This makes me want to do every counter and table in my house, LOL. Well done!

[@BrontesLife]

Right?! Me too 🤣 thank you so much!

Y'all did a good job, I just had my countertops resurfaced but by a professional, they look great

[@BrontesLife]

Thank you so much! That’s awesome!!

[@angelaharder3997]

Epoxy resin gives off chemical odors when curing. How strong was the smell in your home during the process? There is always dust in the air, did you do something special to reduce dust and can you see the dust specs in the final top coat when it was completely cured?

[@BrontesLife]

The epoxy itself did not have an extremely strong odor, but maybe that’s just because I found the strongest odor was from the bondo we used to repair the countertops. Now that stuff STINKS!!!!!!!!!!! We had to open up windows and have the fans on for that. To reduce dust as much as possible, we closed all of our vents downstairs and didn’t turn the fan on while it was curing then before applying the top coat we sanded away dust and hair. With the top coat there were only a couple of random little pieces of dust and I just left them because once we started putting stuff back in the kitchen, you couldn’t see them. I hope that answers your question! 💙

[@BrontesLife]

I forgot to add that this epoxy did not give off the odor like your typical resin odor ** resin is extremely potent where this had an odor, but NOTHING like your typical resin. Only reason I know this is because both of my parents have used your regular resin in their artwork. ❤️

Hi! I am your “newest/ biggest” fan, lol. I am watching all of your videos! I liked the music and loved your tips / suggestions as well as your excitement and dancing 🙌😂 thanks for posting these!

[@stevennihipali3607]

using a power sander on the entire counter would make everything feel better, but also giving scuff for the top coat...
